Excerpt from d104ile Mechanics This book is intended as a Preliminary Course of Mechanics for the students of Grade I. In the d104ile Courses of the City and Guilds of London Institute. The usual Mechanics Course associated with these subjects is of a [very general Character, and the illustrations drawn form a Wide variety of mechanical contrivances, but textile machinery is practically excluded. It is desirable that in the course system of instruction all the cognate subjects Should bear directly upon the main subject, so that students Will realise that in studying these subjects they are acquiring an important part of the real subject. The advantages are twofold. In the first place, textile machinery embodies in its construction almost every Class of mechanical contrivance and arrangement, so that they receive a thorough grounding in mechanical principles and their application and secondly, the subject-can be so taught that quite a large part of the textile teacher's work can be eliminated and relegated to. The class in mechanics, thus enabling the main subject to be dealt with in a more thorough manner than is possible under present conditions.
